Hellboy Science of Evil review

The first Hellboy movie was an enjoyable romp although I did nod off for a couple of minutes towards the end. I’m also looking forward to watching the sequel directed by Guillermo Del Toro. This game takes artistic direction from the Italian director and also features the voice of Ron Perlman as you fight the forces of evil over a few long levels. It’s your standard third-person action adventure. You explore graveyards, forests and the likes, beating up lots of mythical creatures on the way. Lizard men, Werewolves and other ghostly beings all make an appearance as you hammer buttons...

Soul Bubbles review

Soul Bubbles is a rather intriguing action puzzle game developed by a small unknown developer called Mekensleep and is published by Eidos. When a game tells you on its opening screen that it contains no Licensed Racing Cars, Post Apocalyptic Solders or Gang Fights – you know that something is different at work. In Soul Bubbles DS you take control of a Psychopomp or to put it a better way, a Spirit Herder. Your job is to guide spirits to the afterworld by traversing them through the level, all the while contained in a special protective bubble. You see the...

Carnival Games review

When we heard that Carnival Games for Wii had sold over 1.5 million copies we knew we had to go and take a look at the game. Who doesn’t like to go to the fair? Of course, no one, that’s who! Everyone loves going to the fair, where else besides Disneyland can you get expensive rides, tacky stalls, badly cooked food and old men dressed up as animals? Carnival Games Wii with over 25 genuine Carnival games tries to recreate all the fun and frolics of going to the Carnival in the comfort of your own home – it sounds...

Soul Calibur IV review

I love the Soul Calibur games. There’s something nice and shiny about them and it’s so easy to pick up and play that anyone can join in the fun without having to be a fighting master – I’m talking to you Virtua Fighter. Soul Calibur IV is the first game for the new batch of consoles and boy does it look pretty! All your favourite characters are there along with a few new ones and the ability to make your own character based on current characters’ fighting styles or you can modify current characters with new clothes, hair, weapons and...

Guitar Hero On Tour review

It’s true that Guitar Hero is now a mammoth franchise and it’s been successful on every home platform. Now Activision want you to have a go at air guitar by letting you play Guitar Hero On Tour on the move on your DS. At first glance it looks like a cool idea. The game features all the core gameplay from the console version with a peripheral made specifically for the game – a grip that slots into your GBA port on your DS. You hold the DS as if it were a book and use your four fingers to press...

The Simpsons Game review

We all love The Simpsons. Family Guy, South Park and Futurama are all great and we always make a point to watch them whenever they come on TV – but it’s only The Simpsons which we buy on DVD. There have been many Simpson’s games over the years, most of which weren’t very good but this one is actually co-created by EA and the writers of the show. Now is the time for a closer look and review The Simpsons game for Wii. TSG is a sprawling 3D adventure platformer featuring all your favourite Simpsons characters (unless one of your...
